Paul Miyagawa's Swiss Life

This page is newly constituted to (eventually) document my life in Geneva. Nothing much on it yet as it is more or less a place holder for the mo.

Work

The main reason I'm out here is to do test beam work at CERN with the MINOS Calibration Detector (Caldet). Some plots are available for viewing. I have some photos from construction of Caldet.

Activities

I'm involved with a few clubs at the moment:

  • CERN Choir
  • CERN MusiClub
  • CERN Cricket Club
  • CERN Croquet Club
  • CERN Softball Club (photos)

  • Freiburg, Germany
  • Strasbourg, France (photos)

    I also made a tour of the Benelux (BElgium, NEtherlands and LUXembourg) region:

  • Brugges + Gent, Belgium (photos of Brugges and Gent)

  • Amsterdam, Netherlands (photos)
  • The Hague + Madurodam, Netherlands (photos of The Hague and Madurodam)
  • Brussels, Belgium (photos)

    Finally, I've had a couple of mini-extravaganzas to Germany:

  • Frankfurt
  • Ulm
  • Munich
    and Italy:
